Sprint without history, Del Toro wins the race

Jonathan Milan won the seventh and final stage of the 2026 UAE Tour, 149km from Zayed National Museum to Abu Dhabi Breakwater. After the start, there were numerous attack attempts, including one by Remco Evenepoel, who, however, found no space as the peloton was intent on closing in. The day's breakaway, consisting of Thornley, Hoole, Milesi, Mikutis, and Caudell, however, had better luck, at least until 2km from the finish when the group regrouped. At the finish, Milan once again dominated the sprint ahead of Erlend Blikra of Uno X and Sam Welsford of Ineos. Milan also won the points classification.

Isaac Del Toro took the overall lead over Antonio Tiberi and Luke Plapp.
